A PSA 10 currently sells for about £212.55, raw the card sits at £11.18 — 19,0× as much. Of 7.548 copies already graded, 27 % received a 10 and 50 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £75.44 on average, before fees and shipping. Rule of thumb: submit when the value at a realistic grade is at least double the raw value — which is the case here. Centering decides it: an off-centre card will not get a 10. The grade distribution comes from the PSA Population Report; people pre-sort before submitting, so your own hit rate may differ.

Across 90 auctions the median was £11.05, across 391 fixed-price sales £12.68. Fixed price therefore fetched about 15 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between £10.14 and £13.60, with a median of £11.61. Selling fast lands you nearer the lower end; with patience, good photos and a complete title the upper end is achievable.

The cheapest genuine sales were around £8.70. Offers well below £5.22 are typically fakes, mislabelled cards or a different variant — ask for photos of all four borders and a close-up of the surface.

From real sales: French £25.50 (27), Italian £14.93 (14), English £11.18 (602). French fetches about 132 % more.

lastsold uses only real sales — eBay plus auction houses like Goldin & Fanatics — recent sales count more (recency weighting), outliers and fakes are removed. It's not an estimate but actual sold prices, separated by condition, language and grading.
